International Health Insurance for Expats By Cigna

The healthcare system in the Netherlands is rated among the best in Europe. In comparing European healthcare systems, the 2018 Euro Health Consumer Index listed the Netherlands in second place, making it the only country to have been consistently listed in the top three since 2005.

The Dutch government is responsible for ensuring healthcare is accessible. Still, private health insurance (basisverzekering) is mandatory for anyone living and working in the Netherlands to access services and cover common medical care, such as GP and hospital visits.

If you are an expat living in the Netherlands, you will need to take out your insurance within four months of registering for residency in the country. The first step to accessing healthcare in the Netherlands is registering for your Citizen Service Number (burgerservicenummer) at your local municipal office. Once fully registered, you can select your level of health cover, whether basic cover or an additional optional private policy to reduce or avoid out-of-pocket expenses.
